I teased this Vegan Banana Bread recipe on my Insta stories a FEW times and it’s finally here! This dish is from Brett Cobley‘s new book What Vegan’s Eat and it’s DEEPLY GOOD! Brett and I have gotten to be insta friends and he’s quickly become one of my go to vegan accounts. The recipes in this book are DEEPLY GOOD. My go-to part: he has a lot of familiar recipes that are simple and don’t have a ton of weird ingredients that you have to drive all over town to find (I truly hate that!).
If you like to do plant based cooking and baking, I HIGHLY recommend What Vegans Eat! You can check it out HERE (affiliate link). You can also check out Brett on Instagram HERE.
One of my go-to parts about this banana bread recipe is that it comes together in ONE BOWL! Minimal clean up is my preferred way of baking!
And while I personally LOVE chocolate chips in banana bread, I entirely get that it’s not for everyone. Stephen prefers his without chocolate in it (womp womp). Of course, the chocolate in this dish is completely optional and won’t change anything if you simply leave it out completely. On the other hand, you could try replacing the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips which sounds STANDOUT to me (I keep meaning to try that!).
The slices of banana on top are also optional. It makes the top of the bread a bit more moist but I personally love it. If you don’t think you’d like it, simple leave it off and proceed as usual.
How to cook this Vegan Banana Bread Recipe:
As I’ve mentioned a couple of times, this method is ridiculously straightforward to make and everything gets mixed together in only one bowl (HUGE FAN!).
First mix together all of the wet ingredients before then sifting the dry ingredients right into the same bowl. Mix it all together, fold in the chocolate chips and then pour it into your prepared loaf pan. UNFUSSY.
Top with the banana slices and then bake for about 45 minutes.
I hope that you love this healthy banana bread recipe! Don’t forget to check out Brett’s cookbook What Vegan’s Eat!

Chocolate Chip Vegan Banana Bread from the Pantry
ONE BOWL Straightforward Vegan Banana Bread!
- Serves 1 loaf
- Prep 10 minutes
- Cook 40 minutes
- Total 50 minutes
Ingredients
- ¼ cup of vegetable oil
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 3 medium ripe bananas (plus an additional banana sliced in half long ways for topping if desired)
- 1 cup of packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- ¼ cup of plant based milk
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ cup of dark chocolate chips
Method
- 1
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan ( I tried this in an 8x4 pan and it doesn't quite work).
- 2
In a large bowl, mash 3 of the bananas until they're smooth and quite few lumps remain. Add in the brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and milk and stir until combined.
- 3
Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until only combined and then fold in the chocolate chips.
- 4
Pour the batter into the loaf pan, top with the extra banana, and bake for 40-45 minutes. It's done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with only a few crumbs on it.

Let cool and ENJOY!
